Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleumbased products, penetrating lubricants, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in
serious personal injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to
be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at an authorised service center.
Before running the engine, perform the following
preoperation steps:
■ Check that all bolts, nuts, etc., are securely tightened.
■ Make sure the air filter is clean.
■ Check both the engine lubricant level and the fuel tank
level; refill as needed.
■ Inspect the work area for hazards.
■ If there is excessive noise or vibration, stop the unit
immediately.
NOZZLE MAINTENANCE
See figure 19.
Excessive pump pressure (a pulsing sensation felt while
squeezing the trigger) may be the result of a clogged or
dirty nozzle.
■ Turn off the pressure washer and shut off the water
supply. Pull trigger to release water pressure.
■ Remove the nozzle from the spray wand.
NOTE: Never point the spray wand at your face.
■ Using a straightened paper clip or nozzle cleaning tool
(not provided), free any foreign materials clogging or
restricting the nozzle.
■ Using a garden hose, flush debris out of nozzle by
back flushing (running the water through the nozzle
backwards or from the outside to the inside).
■ Reconnect the nozzle to the spray wand.
■ Turn on the water supply and start the engine.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
See figure 20.
A dirty air filter will cause starting difficulty, loss of
performance, and shorten the life span of the engine.
Check the air filter monthly. For best performance, replace
the air filter at least once a year.
■ Unscrew air filter knob, then remove the air filter cover.
■ Lift the edge of the air filter carefully and pull it out.
■ Wash the air filter with warm, soapy water.
■ Rinse and squeeze to dry.
■ Reinstall the air filter.
NOTE: Make sure the filter is seated properly inside
WARNING
the cover. Installing the filter incorrectly will allow dirt to
enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear.
■ Reinstall the air filter cover.
CHECKING SPARK PLUG
See figure 21.
■ Clean the area around the base of the spark plug
before removing to keep dirt and debris out of the
engine. Remove spark plug.
■ Clean off carbon deposits on the spark plug electrode
using a plug cleaner or wire brush. Replace the plug
if worn. (Recommended spark plug: BPR6HS (NGK)
or equivalent.)
■ Check electrode gap. The gap should be .03 in. (0.7-
0.8 mm). Adjust the gap, if necessary, by carefully
bending the ground electrode.
■ Reinstall spark plug. Tighten securely.
CHANGING ENGINE LUBRICANT
See figure 22.
■ Shut off the engine.
■ Clean the area around the lubricant fill cap/dipstick,
then remove the lubricant fill cap/dipstick.
■ Tilt the pressure washer on its side as shown. Drain
lubricant into approved container.
NOTE: Drain the lubricant while the engine is still
warm but not hot. Warm lubricant will drain quickly and
more completely.
■ After the crankcase is completely drained, return the
pressure washer to an upright position.
■ Fill with lubricant following the instructions in Adding
Lubricant To The Engine earlier in this manual.
NOTE: Consult hazardous waste management guidelines
in your area for the proper way to dispose of used lubricant.
PUMP LUBRICATION
The pump on this product was lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
STORING THE PRESSURE WASHER
See figure 23.
Store the pressure washer with the petrol tank empty by
either draining the tank or running the pressure washer
until the petrol runs out. Allow 30 minutes of "cool down"
time before storing the machine. Never place the unit in
any position other than upright on its wheels.
Store in a dry, covered area where the weather can't
damage it.
It is important to store this product in a frost-free area.
Always empty water from all hoses, the pump, and the
detergent bucket before storing.
